Summary
Vastnet Corp
isp hosting legacy
VASTNET is Vastnet Corp, a small independent operator on Long Island, New York, registered with ARIN in 1997. It describes itself as a colocation and fixed-wireless (microwave) internet provider running facilities in Melville, NY and Denver, CO.
What it's used for
A compact, self-contained network. RIS sees 4 announced IPv4 prefixes carrying 4,096 addresses and no IPv6, against 3 observed BGP neighbours — a handful of prefixes, a handful of peers, a single business.
The reverse DNS is entirely first-party: every sampled address answers under vastnet.net, using the operator's own ip<n>.<block>.vastnet.net template, with an admin.noc.vastnet.net management host in the mix. That matters more than it might seem. Scattered small prefixes with no rDNS, or rDNS pointing at unrelated third parties, is the shape of an address broker; self-registered space with consistent operator-owned reverse DNS is a real network that simply happens to be small.
Notable
What the space actually carries cannot be resolved from routing alone — the PTR template is generic, so it names no servers and no subscriber pools. The operator's own description (colocation plus wireless access, serving the New York metro and Denver) is the only evidence of customer type, and self-description is weaker evidence than inventory, so this card does not claim more than that.
A /21, two /22s and a /24 across two legacy ranges is the whole footprint: enough for a colocation floor and some point-to-point wireless customers, not enough to be anything larger.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-27, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
